About James (Son of Mary)
James, the brother of Jesus, was an important leader (the leading elder) in the church in Jerusalem. He also wrote the Letter of James in the New Testament.
The Gospels only mention James twice. These mentions list him with his brothers Joseph (or Joses), Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3). James may have been the oldest of the brothers after Jesus. James might have been the oldest brother after Jesus. Some people wonder if these were Jesus's full brothers or not. But the Bible seems to say clearly that they were. Like his other brothers, James did not accept Jesus's authority while Jesus was alive (John 7:5).
